A judge approved an out-of-state subpoena in court earlier Friday for the Joseph Elledge murder trial.

An order for Gladys Bautista to appear in court was approved by Judge Jacobs in court.

She is a former local reporter who interviewed Elledge before he was arrested.

Prosecuting attorney Dan Knight says she is a material witness as he believes the interview shows Elledge was lying about what happened.

The trial is scheduled to begin on November 1st.
